Ive never paid to remove the footer, and just read elsewhere that by law the phb link needs to be there...but Ive not removed it - it went away when the update happened (the one that allowed us to remove them if we wanted)

I didn't remove anything from my footer template, wouldn't have a clue what to, as I say it just happened after that update and tbh I didn't think about why or whatever til reading that at least the phbb one should remain

Here are some screen shots, I tried saying Yes and NO to activate footer links, it made no differenceAs you can see they are active, I haven't paid for them to be taken off. All I pay to remove is ads for members.

Can you let me know if I need to do anything?! I don't want you to tell me off for it not being there!

I've certainly never edited it - and its nothing like the default Anyway I copied what was on the default, starting with what you posted...and the links are all there now......except....Slight problem that my toolber covers 99.9% them when not minimised, is that a problem or do I need to add some code to shift the links up a bit?

ETA: I have now paid to remove the links, but still need to know how I can move it up?

ETA 2: odder still http://help.forumotion.com/t86470-new-update-mobile-forums-footer-edit-and-more-inside that link , where it says what to do in the template...I might be being dumb, but the code it says to change is what mine was when the links were not showing ... and what it says to change it to is what the default was (and now that mine has been changed to that it worked correctly) .. OMG does that make sense? its too late for me! It looks to me like I did have the correct code, as per the one they say to replace... but surely only people who are paying are supposed to make those changes?

I've paid now so yeh I needed to make the change ... but had I not paid I shouldn't have needed to change it, and the code I had should have worked, right?

A slight mis understanding there.Before the update we had a completely different code, which we were required to change, which we had to change to the new code, which is the code that you currently have as the default content.

For example, if I had edited my footer back in say 2007, I would be required to update my template in order to remove the links legally.

So the default code is the correct code for now.If you weren't to have paid, you wouldn't of been required to update your template, however, it's always best to work on the most modern coding If you didn't pay, the links wouldn't of been removed via the purchase option.

OK, Well its all sorted now, I just need to get the links a bit higher as they aren't visible behind my toolbar, I'll have a look later and if I cant work it out myself I will post a more relevant thread
